Nouveau Monde would also like to announce that it was invited by BMO Capital Markets to attend its 25th Global Metals and Mining Conference, held in Hollywood, Florida from February 28 to March 2, 2016. BMO Capital Markets hosts a number of conferences each year that bring together institutional investors and corporate/ government entities that require capital. Nouveau Monde is eager to share its latest results from its Tony block at the event, and also at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention to be held in Toronto, Canada from March 6 to 9.

The Tony Block is located in the Saint-Michel-des-Saints area, some 130 km north of Montreal, Québec, Canada. An extensive trenching and drilling (totalling over 10,000 m) program was initiated in June of 2015. The objective of the work was to define before year-end a Mineral Resource Estimate, completed in accordance with the NI 43-101 guidelines, for the South-East and South-West zones (see December 15, 2015 press release). Regarding the West Zone, the resource estimate is scheduled to be completed during the first quarter of 2016.  A preliminary economic assessment regarding these three mineralized zones is expected during the first half of 2016.
